As training camp rolls on for the Pittsburgh Steelers, the rookie Steelers have made quite the impression. Rookie offensive lineman Max Iheanachor and former Penn State quarterback Drew Allar have been tested early and often by the Steelers and defensive coordinator Patrick Graham.
Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy loves what he’s seeing.
“This is incredible work for us offensively, and I know we’re stressing them, too,” McCarthy said. “This is what you want out of training camp. You don’t want to ever
have to get to a point in training camp and say, ‘Hey, can you give me this scheme or this formation or this stress point?’ The offense gives the defense that. The defense has definitely given us that.”
Here is Wednesday’s Three Rivers Report.
